We are excited to provide this added value of outdoor exploration and adventure so that we can connect to that vibrant universal energy while the land is most fertile, nourishing our inner souls in a whole new way. We will even include a special trip outside of the city to a temple.
When it gets very hot, for the afternoons we will return to our peaceful studio in Sanlitun for cooler temperatures and more mellow practice and lectures. Well stocked with comfortable bolsters and chilled coconut waters to let us relax and enjoy the learnings!
